One woman has come up with a brilliant way to remember Valentine's Day - carrying out an experiment that yielded amazing results.

Victoria Trocino has spent the last few summers working in Dublin - and took in the occasional night out at the pubs and clubs Ireland's capital has to offer.

Along the way, she met a few fellas that she shared laughs, a dance or a kiss with, before swapping numbers.

As a Valentine's Day experiment, Victoria - with a little encouragement from a pal - decided to text some of her mystery phone contacts a Happy Valentine's Day.

Of the 17 different lads she sent the message to, four replied - and the results were absolutely epic, reports the Irish Mirror.

She posted the replies she got on her blog, where she went into a bit more detail about the experiment.

First up was Niall.

In her blog post, Victoria said she was surprised Niall remembered her after seven months.

Calling him a "nice guy", she said she opted to leave the conversation there as her next reply came through - this time, from Penguin Erector.

Victoria wrote that this mystery lad had told her he worked in the penguin exhibit at the Dublin Zoo, claiming to be a 'Penguin Erector' - which meant setting the penguins upright if they toppled over.

While we might be slightly skeptical that Mr Penguin was telling the truth about that, we have to admit his text back was even worse.

We can't imagine Penguin Erector's "new lady" would be too happy to hear about this...

Then Ryan replied. And he got off to a bit of a rocky start.

So, in the span of 10 texts, Ryan managed to try and woo Victoria back - before confusing her for someone completely different and dragging Trump into the conversation.

What a charmer.

Then there was Isaac, the love doctor from Coppers.

He had a pretty interesting cure for a case of the Valentine's Day blues, at least?

And, while she only got responses from 4 of the 17 recipients of her message, Victoria had nothing but nice things to say to the fellas that didn't reply to her V-Day message.

In her blog post, she wrote: "As for the ones who didn’t reply… Stephen, Jeremy, Cian, Eoin, Connor, and Cormac to name a few… I hope you’re eating heart shaped ravioli, basking in the glow of a tealight in an overcrowded restaurant, and sitting across from a girl you met in Copper’s. Happy Valentine’s Day."
